Course Objectives (B1-B2)Course Objectives (B1-B2)
Upon completion of this course, participants will have developed their Norwegian language skills to an independent and advanced level (B1–B2). They will be able to understand, discuss, and reflect on complex topics related to society, culture, and current affairs, while communicating with greater confidence, accuracy, and fluency.
Participants will be able to comprehend nuanced and detailed content in complex texts, radio programmes, and podcasts covering a wide range of topics, including housing, parenting, personal finance, literary classics, historic sporting events, technology, and political systems. They will also be able to express and justify their opinions in a clear, well-structured manner, discussing both everyday topics such as online dating, public health campaigns, and holiday traditions, as well as more abstract issues including financial hardship, artificial intelligence, and future environmental technologies.
In writing, participants will progress from simple descriptive texts to producing formal, genre-appropriate writing, including argumentative essays, complaint letters, insurance claim reports, and extended reflections on literature and social issues. They will develop the ability to write with greater coherence, precision, and stylistic awareness while adapting their language to different audiences and purposes.
The course also strengthens participants' sociocultural competence by exploring distinctive aspects of Norwegian society and culture, such as greeting customs, the russefeiring graduation tradition, and Taco Friday, while examining topics including minority history, national heroes, and the opportunities and challenges of the Norwegian welfare state.
To achieve greater fluency and linguistic precision, participants will master advanced sentence structure, cohesive devices, punctuation, and the nuanced use of Norwegian verb tenses, including the distinction between the simple past (preteritum) and the present perfect (presens perfektum). They will also build a broad and sophisticated vocabulary that includes idiomatic expressions, synonyms, antonyms, and nuanced language, enabling them to communicate spontaneously and effectively in professional, academic, and everyday settings.
